Queen of the Ridge

Queen of the Ridge is a femininonemon! Yes, you heard that right. This race is for the ladies! Grab your gal pals and your trail shoes, because we are getting the girls together for our very first LAST WOMAN STANDING race. We will be using the same loop and rules as our spring race, Rumble on the Ridge, which is a take on the traditional backyard ultra. Runners will complete a 1-"ish" mile loop every 20 minutes, until only one powerful female remains. This event takes place on an old family dairy farm just 40 minutes west of Madison, WI in the heart of the Driftless Area, and is very near and dear to RD Kelly's heart <3 The course: 1. The loop is usually between 1.0 and 1.25 miles long, and will have a minimum of 250ft of elevation gain. 2. A combination of single track and grass trails 3. The route changes directions every 4 hours! Gather your girlfriends and bring your A-game. Every queen who toes the line proves she's unstoppable, but only one woman will outlast the hills of the Driftless. This isn't just a race - it's a rising. Long live the last woman standing.
